 THE NEW HAvEN-coNsoLIDATED GAME.
 The New Haven club played the Yale Con- solidated team at Hamilton Park yesterday afternoon. The only changes in the positions of the New Haven team were Donnelly in the pitchers box and Lautenbach at short stop. Nine innings were played and the Yale boys were victorious, 8 to 6. Donnelly was hit quite hard, and the errors of the New Haven team were costly. The game was de- void of all interest, for both sides acted as if they did not care who beat.
